Serverless Console

Serverless Console is an alternative UI for AWS Cloudwatch. Its focus is on "serverless functions" but it can also be used for any kind of log group.

Cloudwatch Logs

• Log groups are grouped per project and correspond to a single Serverless service
• Stages are shown per function on its own tab
• Times are shown relative to current timestamp (like "2 minutes ago")
• Logs can be grouped per request
• Log stream can be searched

Log Search (Cloudwatch Insights)

• Cloudwatch Insights query for simple search is used by default (but it can be modified)
• Preserves search history (while the tab is opened)

DynamoDB Console

Supported Services

• Serverless Framework - data is retrieved by parsing serverless.yml definition
• CloudFormation stack - data is retrieved using AWS API (especially useful if you are using AWS SAM)
• Custom Logs - exact Log Group name is defined in settings

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• serverlessConsole.groupPerRequest: determines a default option on whether logs should be grouped per request.
• serverlessConsole.services: a list of services from which data is retrieved.
